[Sample: The Florida Mass Choir]
Since the day
You saved my soul
You've been proving
Yourself to me Lord
[Verse 1: Ambassador]
Yeah, let me get deep
Genesis 3, verse 15
The Gospel first given to Eve
Given to Adam
A woman would be given a Seed
Blood will splatter
Cause this One would be willing to bleed
He put an end to the enemy with His energy
Enter in a world for His enemies, He would intercede
Go up on a tree and appease, He'd be the Remedy
Sin is on the outs, now hear Him shout, now ven aquí
This is Jesus, the One Whose resurrection's the one proof
He tops heads like buns do
These are dark times
Hard to smile like having one tooth
So we drop lines to bring the Light in like a sunroof
One truth
We need is how our sin is freed
Just believe
Don't add nothing like putting in a weave
Just receive
He put in the work
I'm amazed that He saves from the grave
Plus arrays what they put in the dirt me
[Verse 2: Shai Linne]
Why we gotta talk about Him?
Hmm, wrong question
We ain't gotta talk about Him
We get to talk about Him
We were made to make much of Him
Tis so sweet to trust in Him
A touching hymn
When I'm bleeding
I wanna touch His hem
Before the throne of God above
I was subject to be judged
Til Jesus paid it all
And it was nothing but the blood
Jesus blood was spilled in pain
But He wasn't killed in vain
Cause all who trust in Him
Lose all their guilty stains
Nothing in my hands I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
And can it be in Christ alone
How sweet and awesome when we sing
Forever we get to tell
About Jesus our Citadel
Should of been in the pit of Hell
Instead, we're singing, "It Is Well"
[Verse 3: Da' T.R.U.T.H.]
In a civil war homie waving a white flagtch
All these shares to honest tears that I fight backtch
I got somewhere to leave all my baggage like Skycatch
It's a mistake to look at His people and typecast
An avid reader with cabin fever, the saints rise
Face off with the fallen soldiers in plain sightch
I fell back and leaned on a wall when the paint drytch
Then the devil gave me a run for my money like bank heistch
Only love and compassion, licking my open sores
They say that chivalry's dead, but He still opens doors
Sent death, Hell and the grave, homie they ova fo
God is faithful, put respect in His name, por favor
I need more time, vanity in my veins
Naturally but it's peace when the sanity's in my brain
He's so good boy and He planning to be the same
Shelter in the storm and a Canopy when it rains
I'm gone
[Verse 4: Braille]
And I don't need a platform to rap for Him
As if it matters more if more see it
My God is all-seeing
I'm seeing life in a different light
There's nothing new under the sun
But everyone under the Son is made new
I'm no longer on the fence
Now my defense is offense
I'm drawn away from sin
When I gaze upon Him often
Look into the Lord
Is you for Him or against Him?
The gospel is offensive
Cause it deals with our offenses
But God is more offended
When it comes to the unrepentant
And the darkness in the hearts
Of those refusing to surrender
I'm a messenger of grace
Christ crucified the message
And when I count my blessings
He's the Treasure that's most precious
[Sample]
Since the day
You saved my soul
You've been proving
Yourself to me Lord
[Verse 5: Jackie Hill-Perry]
You can't afford the price for life
Like you Little Rich with the keys
Between them black bars laying flat
That's a major key
He's the best
You can bet ain't no change in Him
Penny pinching freedom
It ain't Lincoln that slaves needed
The grave beat it
And moonwalk
When He raised
Even the stars know His fame
Stays daily
It's rain season
His name's Jesus
We ain't passive-aggressive
Or vain neither
Let us adore Him
In Romans
Don't pay Caesar
He waved either
To tell you hello
Or to save seeds
From the same evil
That Bell Biv Devoe
When they sang Poison
The fangs
Leave from the neck
When the veins
Bleed from the stretch
And the same
Fellow that made
Adam
Even with one breath
